A 2013 study showed a total of 30 companies actively supplying electricity and gas to business customers, and at least 80 per cent of gas used by business customers and almost 20 per cent of electricity was supplied by companies outside the major domestic suppliers.

Providing performance information will therefore be beneficial for improving consumer confidence, especially in companies that may be less well known.

The publication of unbiased and transparent information on performance for non-domestic suppliers will also provide companies with an incentive to drive improvements and truly compete on service for micro-business consumers.
